Went there on Father’s Day dinner. No customers the whole time I was there had their dinner buffet, everyone ordered from the menu. The dinner buffet didn’t look good. The service was ok.

The food delicious, but we had to wait 45 minutes past our reservation time which then led to there being minimal food left as brunch was going to end at 2pm and we didn’t get seated until 1:15. Our waiter was nice and helpful but a bit forgetful. I do understand though that it was Father’s Day and busy.

The food was good as always. The host that we had I felt lost track of my table. I went in for the Sunday brunch my first mimosa was the one he brought me. After that he may have served me 2 more times mind I was there about an hour and a half maybe more. He would serve the table next to me and behind me but I would be served by other hosts that would come up to me and ask if I wanted a refill

Thanks for the review, Luis! We're sorry to hear about the mix-up with your server, and we appreciate your patience during your visit. We're always aiming to improve, and your feedback will help us do just that. We hope to see you again soon for another mimosa and a more seamless service.

The food was genuinely exceptional—flavorful, beautifully prepared, and clearly crafted with skill. Unfortunately, the service was an absolute disgrace. Our waitress was, without exaggeration, one of the most disengaged and lethargic servers I’ve ever encountered. Her demeanor was cold, her pace glacial, and her attitude indifferent at best. It took her over 20 minutes to bring a simple chips refill, which is unacceptable by any standard. Worse yet, when I asked to keep the original basket—still containing chips—I was outright denied and had it removed from the table without my consent. That level of dismissiveness is appalling. To be clear: the manager was professional and courteous. But the waitress? A disinterested presence dragging herself from table to table with no apparent purpose or urgency. She contributed nothing to the experience other than irritation. This was supposed to be our anniversary dinner—a fact we noted on the reservation and mentioned again upon arrival. There was zero acknowledgment, no effort, and no care to make it memorable. The disconnect between kitchen excellence and front-of-house incompetence was staggering. I left no tip—and that was intentional. I reward good service. What we experienced was a textbook case of someone who needs immediate retraining, if not a different career path altogether. Dining out should never feel like a chore, and this did. I strongly advise others to avoid this location unless they enjoy good food paired with appallingly poor service.

Overall the service was very poor, the place we were accommodated was too hot since the 2 doors adjacent were open and we were told they would closed them in order to keep the room at comfortable temperature. We had to go to the bar and ask for our drinks because the waitress took too long to check to refill or to order our drinks. Same with the time to wait for our food… not coming back.

To be fair did not wait too long to be seated around my reservation time. However I did not make reservations for brunch but sit down ordering. Was asked to wait an hour to be attended. So we left and went elsewhere

Had a reservation for 12:45 that somehow got checked in at 12, without me being at the restaurant. Due to how busy it was ended up getting sat outside in a tent. Not a great experience when I planned ahead and made a reservation
